I'm looking for a laptop with a gtx 970M or a 1060, my budget is $1,300 usd. I want a laptop that is cooled properly and has a battery life of at least 4 hours normal use, but preferably 5-6. The weight should be no more than 5.5 lbs.  I've looked at the clevo models, but their laptops look cheap and the track pads look awful. Not to mention having to pay extra for windows and a decent warranty.

Waat? Their trackpads are better than most of the MSI, Asus stuff. Their build is aluminum in places you'll touch and abs hard plastic in places for stability. Paying extra for windows? It's more like they give you the option to remove it and pay less. I was going to say the P650RP6 with a 1060 + 5.5 hours of battery life. It's 1300. I guess pick up the GL502 you mentioned in your last thread.
